IMPROVEMENT IN S USPENDER-ENDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 193,889, dated August7, 1877 application filed July 9, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. MURFEY, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented a new and Improved Suspender-End, of which thefollowing is a specification Figure 1 is a front view of my improvedsuspender-end. Fig. 2 is arear view of aportion of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention consists of a peculiar cord loop that is attached to thebuckle fastener or clip, and to end pieces having holes for receivingbuttons.

The object of the invention is to provide a Suspender-end that willadjust itself, and that may be easily adapted to the requirements ofdifi'erent persons.

Referring to the drawing, A is a fastener or clip of any ordinary form,which is attached to the buckle B. A cord, 0, is formed into threeloops, at b c.

The part of the cord that unites the longer loops i b passes through theshorter loop 0, and may be drawn through it in either direction,lengthening one of the longer loops and shortening the other, as may berequired. At the extremity of each of the loops a b there is a flatpiece, pl, which is doubled around the cord 0 and stitched together nearthe cord, and bound or otherwise finished around its lower edge, and init is made a button-hole, e, for receiving the ordinarysuspender-button.

The shorter loop 0 may be made of a separate piece of cord or braid, orit may be made of metal and fastened to the clip A in any convenient andsubstantial Way.

-There is sufficientfriction between the pieces 01 and the loops a b tocause the loops to remain in any position to which they may be adjusted;at the same time the friction is not so great as to prevent the cordfrom slipping under undue strain.

The loops, instead of being fastened by a -metallic clip, may bestitched into a leather or cloth fastening.

Various modifications of my improvement may be made; therefore I do notconfine myself to the exact form herein shown and de- Witnesses:
